The proper treatment of barnyard ma
nure is a matter of pecuniary interest to
the farmer Professor Weber, in q recent
report issued by the Ohio state board of
agriculture, says on this subject:
l. The stable floor should he impervious
to water, and may be made Of concrete,
clay, brick or plank.
g. Enough bedding should he used to
completely absorb the liquid eXcrements.
Straw Is the best bedding The amount
Of bedding should be equal to onefourth
of the dry matter of the feed given. This
would in general be about six to six and q
half pounds for every 1000 pounds Of live
weight of stock per day.
3. Where the manure is allowed to &c
cumulate in the stable it is often necessary
to employ some absorbent for the escaping
ammonia. The best absorbents are muck
and soil sprinkled over the surface from
time to time. Where these cannot be had
the following substances may be en-
ployed: Gypsum or land plaster, one-half
pound per day for every 1000 pounds live
weight. Sulphuric acid, one part to 1000
parts of water One pint of this mixture
per week will be sufficient for each ami
NAL. With this precaution no loss or evil

of manure in stables.
4. Where stables are daily cleaned n
manure pit for the preservation of manure
should be provided. This pit should have
double the stable surface, should be two
feet deep, and have wall or ridge around
the outside, at least a foot higher than the
surrounding surface in order to exclude
water during rains. The bottom and
sides of the pit should be impervious to
water, SO as TO prevent loss of the soluble
constituents. The manure should be
spread over the whole pit, and not be piled
up at one point Here it will keep moist,
which prevents heating and all of the SOL
uble ingredients will be preserved.
Manure from such pit, according to
the authority quoted, would contain per
ton 10 pounds of nitrogen, so pounds of
phosphoric acid and II pounds of pot
ash. The money value would be about So

There exists considerable confusion in
the minds of many concerning the names
"Alderney," Jersey" and Guernsey"
as applied to the Channel Island cattle
and their offspring. In many parts Of
England, as in this country, tho name
"Alderney" is alike given to both Jerseys
and Guernseys. A correspondent in Mark
Lane Express suggests that perhaps the
fact that the first cattle from the Channel
Islands were imported from Alderney
tended to spread the erroneous idea that
all cattle coming from the islands were
Attorneys. In reality, there are two dis
tinct breeds-the Jerseys and the Guern-
seys. The Attorney is mixture Of the
two. Originally the Attorneys We're
smaller even than the Jerseys but through
frequent crossings with the Guernsey
bulls the size now equals that of the ami
mails of this latter breed. In England, as
in this country, the Jersey is the more
popular breed, and is exported from the
islands in numbers far exceeding the
Guernseys.
The Jerseys deteriorate after while il
q sufficient supply of imported blood is
color that characteriZes the skin and ears
of the island animals and develop heavier
bone and general coarseness.
A Jersey, to be desirable, should pos
sess small head, slender and lengthy
from the eye to the nose; the eyes should
be full, but not too PROMINENT the ears
lengthy and broad and fringed with hair
The neck ought to be long, fiat and mar
row; the chest deep rather than broad
The legs should be slender with small,
fiat feet. GA long, thin tail and soft,
thick skin" are great points in breeding.
1t is important that the udder be free
from hair, flexible and soft, with no
tendency to flesh. The bag ought to
extend well forward and high up between
the thighs. On no account should the
teats point away from the quarters.

JOHN JAY KNOX. New Orleans and
discovered in the office of the assistant
treasurer the largest defalcation ever
known in the history OF the government
| During the emergency he remained in
| New Orleans acting as assistant treasurer
| On retiring from office he located in New
| York city as president of the National
| Bank of the Republic. His long expe-
rience in and out Of Office gave him the
| right to speak with sort Of authority on
our finances. Other addresses on the
same subject were by Hon. Beriah viii.
kins, George $. Coe, the well known
| banker, of New York, and II. NJ. King
man, OF Chicago.
Two subjects attracted unusual atten-
ton this year-the proposed treaties with
Canada and state taxation of national
banks. In the latter some puzzling ques-
tons ar ose. While it is n clear principle
both of national law and Of financial prac-
tice that a state has no power to tax the
bonds of the United States, it is equally
admitted that when those bonds are de-
posted as the basis Of note circulation,
and are thus transformed into bank stock,
the state can tax such stock. And in the
delicate interlock Of these two principles
of law, some states have found n Consti-
IullOlldl way 10 lay tdAdllOn 'i tIc Ht-
tional banks, while others have thought
it better policy to tax lightly or exempt
the natural result being to drive bank
capital out of the former and draw it into
the latter
The questions Of complete reciprocity
and extradition treaties with Canada are
decidedly novel. 1t is a noteworthy fact
that many stanch advocates If a prOtec-
tive tariff are for reciprocity, claiming
that the principles on which we maintain
q tariff against Europe do not apply to our
near neighbOr in the New World, with
political institutions much like our own,
producing much that we want and want
ing much that we produce, yet with very
few industries directly competing with
ours. The bankers are much more in
terested in n treaty which viii enable
them TO bring back defaulters end en-
bezzling cashiers. 1t is simply ridiculous
that on one side Of an imaginary line a
thief should be amenable to law and on
the other as free as the most honest. 1t
il disgraceful TO both countries, and now
that rapid communication is so well estah-
lished, the flight Of ''boodlers" to Canada
has assumed alarming proportions. Not
the least important business Of the con-
vsntion was a report and discussion on the
thirty-one treaties with various foreign
countries for the return Of fugitives
charged with crimes against property.

1t may be laid down rs a rule says the
author in ''artistic horseshocing," that
the horn grows more rapidly in warm,
dry climates than in cold wet ones; in
healthy, energetic animals than in those
which are soft and weakly; during exer-
else than in repose; in young than in old
animals. Food, labor and shOcing also
add their influence, while the seasons are
to some extent concerned in the growth
and shape of the hOof. In winter it
widens, becomes softer and grows but
little; in summer it is condensed, becomes
more rigid, concave and resisting, is ex-
posed to severer wear and grows more
rapidly; this variation is provision OF
nature to enable the hoof to adapt itself to
the altered conditions it has to meet-hard
horn to hard ground, soft horn to soft
ground.
In this way is accounted for the in
fluence of locality upon the shape of the
foot. On hard, dry ground tho hoof is
Dense tenacious and small, with cOncave
sole, and little but firm frog; in marshy
regions it is large and spreading, the horn
soft and easily destroyed by wear, the
sole thin and fiat, and the frog an i'm
mense spongy mass which is badly fitted
to receive pressure from slightly hardened
soil. In dry climate, we have an
animal small, compact, wiry and vigor-
Gus, travelling on a surface which demands
a tenacious hoof, and not one adapted to
prevent sinking; in the marshy region we
have large, heavy, Emphatic creature,
one Of whose primary requirements is a
foot designed to travel on u soft yielding
surface. Change the respective situations
Of these two horses, and nature i'm
mediately begins to transform them and
their feet.
In the ordinary conditions of town work
and stable management, it has been OBJ
served that the wall Of healthy foot
grows down from the coronet at the rate
of about one-quarter of an inch per month,
and that the entire wall of a medium
sized hoof has been regenerated in from
nine to twelve months.

Of the 18th, by the service of the holy

Then follow an address by Rt Rev.
George William Petcrkin, bishop of West
Virginia; inaugural address by Rt. Rev.
4. U. Dudley, bishop Of Kentucky,
and memorials of deceased members
by the secretary. Then begins the
discussion, the first topic being
1.-The Function and Power Of the Chris

On the 10Th the entire forenoon will be
gwen to a discussion on Higher Edu-
cation of Woman" The afternoon, to the
question Of change in the name Of the
church. But the Goth will be the day of
greatest interest, as on that day several
appointed speakers and as many volun-
teers as there is time for-ten minutes to
each-will discuss the long disputed issue
of "The Historic Episcopate and Apostolic
Succession"
On this interesting subject the lay writer
naturally hesitates to pronounce; but as
we may freely take the views Of n church
organ, we quote from The Churchman of
New York of Aug. 81: at is to be antici.
pated that the discussion Of this question
will be the critical point in the congress.
There ought to be no disposition on the
part of any of the speakers to make too
much of it. The greater danger is that
some of them will be disposed to make too
little of it, Some are SO alive to
the value and power of truth that they
care but little for the order and institu-
ton by which that truth has been con-
served in history. Others are so impressed
by the Importance of these last they
lose sight Of the intrinsic power of q
right and living faith. The one class is
disposed to relegate all questions of order
into the category of non-essentials. The
other class is equally liable to take the
untenable position that faith and order are
in all respects to be classified together.
What is really desirable is that each OF
the we'll known writers and speakers as
signed to that topic should seek to empha-
size the views which are rather compile
mentary to than identical with those
which he has habitually entertained on
this subject. The historic episcopate and
apostolic succession constitute great and
dgniiied fact in the history Of Christian
ity."
The Churchman has set the ministers q
task that a layman would consider most
too much for himself-to emphasize views
merely complementary to those he habitu-
ally holds; but from the list of speakers
set down for this discussion all whose
privilege it may be TO attend can antici-
pate a rich mental feast. The topics for
the rest Of the session are lay co-opera-
ton, the basis Of representation and
PRAYER meetings.

high rank as n working member of the
committees on finance and judiciary, and
early in 1871 blaZcd upon the country rs
great humorist in his brilliant speech
upon Duluth, which he christened the
zenith city of the unsalted seas"
1t is difficult to give the new generation
of readers any idea of the wild hilarity
this speech excited in congress, or the
| roar of laughter it excited in the country.
The humor was fitted to q peculiar state
of affairs, when every ambitious city on
the border was asking u land grant or
subsidy, and when the condition passed
| away much Of the humOr became obsolete.
Duluth had Just been made famous by
being selected for the eastern terminus OF
the Northern Pacific railroad, and was
asking much of congress. Mr. Knott OPP
posed the grant in IA speech which made
him and the city famous. Duluth grasped
the situation, and made his sarcasm the
basis of big advertisement. He served
continuously in congress- much OF the
time Ms chairman of the house judiciary
committee, till 1883, when he was elected
governor of Kentucky 10y an immense ma
jority He retired but n few weeks ago,
giving place to Gen. S. b. RuCkner, elected
last August.
Another important paper was that by
Hon. John Jay Knox on the financial and
banking progress of the year. This gen
tleman's FederaiSt ancestry is handsome
ly preserved in his names-John Jay
having been one of the patrarchs Of fed
eralism--and his financial opinions are OF
the most pronounced nationalist type.
Born March 10, 1928, at KnoXboro, N. Y,
and graduated from Hamilton college in
1S49, he entered at once on the business Of
banking, and acquired such reputation
that soon after the close of the war he was
called by the secretary of the treasury,
Hugh McCulloch, as adviser, and in 1867
was made deputy comptroller of the cur
rency. In 1872 he became comptroller,
and in the Offices had nearly eighteen
years continuous service. All the financial
legislation of those years bears the marks
of his genius. He reorganiZed the bust

where prohibition interests could best be
sustained was New York state, and just
